Favorite cryptids? I'm pretty fond of this guy
>>5070300>it's real
Since I gotta have some buckeye pride, the Loveland Frogman's gotta be my pick. I just find the idea that there's a big bipedal frog dude chilling somewhere in Southwestern Ohio hilarious.

>>5070683That's clearly a guy
interdimensional bigfoot
El chupacabra
For me its ennedi tiger
>>5070300>The Indigenous people of the area, the Butchulla, called this creature the Moha Moha and according to their stories it was very dangerous and would sometimes attack people at the water's edge, biting their legs off.Does this count as footfaggotry?

The Slide-Rock Bolter is the best cryptid on account of how unbelievably stupid it is. Its basically just a giant mouth that hangs out on top of mountains and waits for someone to walk by, then it slides down the maintain and eats them, destroying everything in its path. It uses its momentum(???) to reach the top of the next hill where it repeats the process.
>>5071281Is it normal to see a huge black dick in this image anons ?
>>5070300I believe in the Mongolian death worm. They said it was 2 feet long which is completely reasonable for a worm and i can believe a burrowing worm stays hidden in the gobi desert. The part i don't believe is the effectiveness of the acid it supposedly spits but that could easily be the guys who saw it making shit up to make a pretty mundane animal seem more dangerous than it is

>>5070827I always loved the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmUSL1njm84
Anyone ever heard of the Black Stick Men?Honorable mention to Atmospheric Jellyfish
>>5071484Wasn't it confirmed by locals to just be a sand boa?
>>5071487gondola(e) in their natural environment
>>5071573That is one of the hypothesis for what it was but not confirmed
>>5070936Wasn't the original chupacabra some sort of fucked up spiked alien-looking creature?
>>5070827That's just a janny
>>5071609Yeah, it was the OG Chupacabra before it became shorthand for "OMG MANGY 'YOTE!!11!11"
Minhocao from Brazil is a crazy shit
>>5072213Is that like a giant caecilian?
>>5072253either that or giant lungfishmost likely extinct due to habitat destruction as there were no sightings after earliest 20th century
>>5072261Just like werewolves!
For me it's the Mongolian death worm
>>5072213>zoo tycoon 2lol
>>5070300>Favorite cryptids?Really fond of the Partridge Creek Monster. I'm already a big fan of dinosaur cryptids, but the comparatively "modern" description of the creature gives the story an auspicious authenticity to it. The Partridge Creek Monster is described as having bristly boar-like fur covering it's body, being an active and energetic predator even in the cold, and having a more bird-like posture despite the time periods insistence on dinosaurs having lizard-like qualities and posture.
>>5070855Allegedly, the crew's reaction to seeing the giant fish were caught on camera, but not the fish itself.
>>5072605>caught on cameraaudiotape, not camera. hence why the fish isn't on it
>>5071609That’s the puerto rican chupi
>>5071634this, gringos ruin everything, they started killing Xoloitzcuintle dogs and calling them chupcacabras, now the claim the chupacabras legend originated in texas because some made up injun story
>>5070300My favourite cryptid is satan
>>5070855>HMMM YES WELL THIS FISH YOU *ALLEGEDLY* SAW IN AN UTTERLY ALIEN ENVIRONMENT WAS DEFINITELY THIS OTHER RANDOM FISH THAT DOESN'T MATCH YOUR DESCRIPTION AT ALLWhy are they like this? Skepticism is important but just say there isn't enough information to go on and leave it at that. Someone could go into space and see a xenomorph and some bearded eurofag would say it was obviously a woodlouse.
>>5072890So how did they react to seeing a 30 foot coelacanth?
>>>/x/
>>5071281I love all the fearsome critters equally
>>5072213that's just a tsuchinoko that Japanese immigrants brought to Brazil in the early 1900s, they went feral and naturalized during the unrest in the 30s
>>5073229cryptids are more /an/ than /x/
Tsuchinoko was real and went extinct in ww2
>>5073266Elaborate
>>5073269It was a skink with even more reduced legs. Their population was pretty small (a recent and very inbred import) and WW2 destroyed what little habitat they had.
>>5073258This. Cryptids range from /x/-tier "nigga please, there's no way that's real" on the one end, to "so it turns out the mountain gorilla is real, guys" on the other.
>>5073229Have you been to /x/ anytime in the last five years? They don't talk about cryptids anymore dude. It's just mental illness.
>>5070683>>5070827>>5070967>>5071281>>5071487>>5071565>>5071634>>5072445Not real cryptids
>>5073396I hate it so much. /x/ was my first main board after /b/ from like 2006-2010. Even then it was getting bad, now it's unbelievable how bad it is.
>>5071281kekstill you have to wonder what that tall-tale was on about back in the day.
>>5073529Rockslides probably
>>5070300kinda plebeian but i like the wendigos that mimic people's voices to lure them into the woods
>>5073396>It's just mental illnessIn fairness, that's every 4chan board at this point.
>>5073548Wendigos are not cryptids
